The objective of the study was to develop an integrated numerical index of seawater quality for fishing and mariculture using ICAMPA for the coastal marine area of ​​Supe, considered among the seven most important bays for fishing activity in Peru. In the study area, 15 stations were evaluated at the surface and bottom levels. 10 parameters were selected that were defined by their level of importance and that define the aquatic environmental quality of this area, which is important for the extraction of hydrobiological resources. The values ​​obtained using the index, developed in the present investigation for fishing and mariculture in Supe Bay, showed that the central area located in front of the mouth of the Pativilca River, and the southern area are affected by the industrial fishing plants present in this area. area. It is concluded that the ICAMPA obtained is statistically ...

Determina un índice ambiental de calidad del agua marina (ICAM-PE) para conocer el estado de la calidad acuática marina con base en criterios de la normatividad peruana, a fin de obtener una herramienta de gestión ambiental para la planificación y conservación de la zona costera de la bahía Supe, que tiene una alta productividad y soporta una gran concentración de recursos hidrobiológicos. Para la construcción del ICAM-PE se analizaron los datos de los parámetros fisicoquímicos de la calidad acuática de los años 2008 y 2015, en la zona comprendida entre los 10º 50'-10º 38' S y los 77º 54'-77º 42' O, y distribuidos en 15 estaciones de monitoreo. En cada estación se evaluaron 10 parámetros: pH, oxígeno disuelto, DBO5, nitratos, fosfatos, sólidos suspendidos totales, sulfuros, aceites y grasas, coliformes termotolerantes e hidrocarburos disueltos y dispersos. La mayorí...
